The 2-point form of the equation for a line is applicable. For points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) that equation is ...

... y = (y₂ -y₁)/(x₂ -x₁)·(x -x₁) +y₁

Filling in your point values gives ...

... y = (3 -1)/(0 -(-3))·(x -(-3)) +1

This can be simplified to ...

... y = (2/3)(x +3) +1

... y = (2/3)x +3
